Mark is your car regularly parked within reflective distance of any windows (of a building or home)?
There is an increasing trend we are seeing in the US with newer windows they are putting in homes melting paint and plastic / vinyl parts on cars and homes. It can completely melt vinyl siding, because the Low-E reflective coating on some windows can combine with the convex window shape to create a magnifying-glass effect with sunlight. Example here: Melted Siding From LowE Windows - YouTube I've seen cars similarly damaged from this.
So you may want to look around where you park the car, is there a car with cheap metallic tint that parks next to you frequently, etc? Park in your usual spot and look for focus reflections on your car on a hot day, and check it with a laser thermometer. The temperatures from reflective surfaces can get really hot.
If not windows look for anything that might be reflecting on it. I can only imagine what the sunlight in Manila is like.

Lexus Japan won't be able to help you. You have to deal with the arm of the company that serves your market.
